Is the off-road appearance package standard ? What about the airmatic and multi-contour seats ? Are these general options also standard or are they not sold in the USA?

The 63 will get unique 20" wheels/tires & it will have an "AMG'd" version of the current Air Suspension as standard equipment. They state the HP rating @ 503 bhp & 465 lb-ft of torque.

I'm planning on buying one as soon as the dealer gets some more information.

My concerns are more regarding the interior colours than with the other options. I sure don't like the standard interior roof and pillar colours.

I also don't like the aluminum trim on the doors.

I'm hoping that there will be some way to change the interior finish before I plunk down my money.

ML63 base price

Hello guys,
I am new to this forum and have a question to all you guys about the price shown above for the ML63. I have one on order but didnt expect this high price, the dealer informed that its gonna be in the low 70's not mid 80's. Is the $85,500 base price confirmed for the US?

The headliner in these trucks will be suede alcantara & the code will differ depending on the interior color.....for example Y83 is the code for Charcoal Alcantara.

Yeah the premium for the AMG ML is quite a bit more than for a AMG E or CLK compared to the regular V8 models. 85K is like what 30K more than a ML500? Usually the premium is like 25K, but still..

Very curious thing, but that happens all the time it seems. We know more about the car than the run of the mill salesman does. Sometimes I think they know about the new models, but want you to buy a leftover model as in the case of the 06 vs 07 E's, but with the ML63 that should be the case for obvious reasons.

I agree Germancar1.....being a good salesperson is like any other profession, you must put in the effort to know more than your customers! Some people just look at this as a job & walk thier way thru with blinders on, not caring that they look dumb when they cannot answer a simple question intelligently.

My salesman still hasn't called to let me know the price. At $90K+ it's a no go for me. I want to thank ML63 for showing us his pictures. It shows me a different trend for MB on their AMG cars: trade HP for Luxury features. The interior is a major let down. ALuminum and plastic instead of wood and leather. Maybe the ML platform has to be looked at differently when adding the AMG upgrade. I think the concept in the ML is "all the technology " for the AMG buyer. I know one day I will want to drive the 500hp with AWD, but for now I will have to be satisfied with 469hp on dry roads in a more luxury sedan that cost me $77K. I will relate my jealousy everytime I see one on the road.

You can buy a lot of other toys for $90k+ I'll keep my ML500 as a daily driver because it is the only vehicle I have that I drive normally, 80mph or less. It's far too tempting to hit triple digits with that much power under the hood.

but i think im gonna go to the dealer within the next 3 weeks and vigorously go over my order , because i was not even told that it will have the Suede headliner,

im gonna wait for the dealer to get a brochure on the car so he can read up and tell me what options it realy has

I predict this over inflated price will drop in the next year through discounts and incentives. Its a $20,000 increase over the past ML55! Porsche is preparing to launch a facelifted version of the cayenne which will hurt the ML63 sales in the next year.
